The Beauty of SharePoint 2007 - Disable Folders in a Document Library

Sometimes in a document library you may not want users to have the ability to use folders. Maybe instead you will enforce the use of columns and document properties to provide a more dynamic and useful taxonomy.

In Windows SharePoint Services, you could turn off folders from a view. That would then disable someone from creating a folder via toolbar but you couldn't disable the use of folders entirely from a document library. In SharePoint 2007 this is no longer the case. Under the Advanced Settings for a document library, you may opt to completely disable the use of folders for a particular document library.
